On Chapter 13: Brothers To The End · 4:52am Dec 31st, 2015
Greetings, FIMFiction.
I don't like talking about this chapter, nor do I enjoy reading it, despite the fact it's one of my better ones. The reason for this dislike is not because I hate or despise it, but because of the feelings of sadness and sorrow it instills in me, for in it's words, I do what I was denied in reality.
I had planned on giving him a hug, because I knew his end was near..... turned out to be nearer than I thought it to be, because.... I never got the chance. To make up for that failure, I did bury him....
But I didn't get to hug him.... I didn't get to say goodbye....
And that's the purpose of this chapter..... to do in fiction what I could not in the real world.... to take what I was denied.... to.... say goodbye.
My Great Grandmother, my Baba, is in her early 90s, and though none of us wish to believe it, as well all deny it, I know the truth. She, too, is not long of this world. Her memory is failing, and her demeanor is become softer than usual. It.... sad. I only hope she will still be around in June, so she might see her great grandson graduate. I hope against hope for that one thing, for I could not have another.
These are some dark days, aren't they? Dark indeed.
Make sure you do what needs doing while you still have time to do it, as once you run out of time..... you tend to dwell on it.... and make things that remind you of it, and in doing so bring the closure you failed to get.

I don't have Skype, at least, not to my knowledge. I have an account.... I think, but I don't use it because my Skype needs updating.... since BEFORE the day I made that account.... that is, if I actually did make it.... I don't really remember at this point.

Well, my Great Baba is starting to improve. Her memory is still iffy, but other than that, she's improving. At least, that's what I've been told.
Well, I did make a blog about it when he died, so that's what you might be thinking of. If not, then I don't know.
